of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 90% of California elementary schools

Summary

West Valley Elementary serves 422 students in grades K–5 in Sunnyvale, California, and is the fourth-smallest of the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but below its district, Cupertino Union, in all three. The most important takeaway is that West Valley’s scores are strong compared with the state, but it does not lead its district or nearby schools.

Math is West Valley’s strongest subject in the nearby-school comparison: its 79% proficiency was 2 points below the nearby average, and it ranked sixth of 10 schools. ELA and science were weaker relative to nearby schools: West Valley scored 67% in ELA and 64% in science, about 12 and 11 points below the respective averages, ranking eighth of 10 in both. Still, its scores were 18 points above California in ELA, 41 above in math and 28 above in science. Compared with the district, West Valley was 12 points lower in ELA, 4 lower in math and 11 lower in science.

Scores fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA dropped 11 points, math 3 and science 8, though all remained above state results. SchoolDigger ranked the school 560th of 5,804 California schools, at the 90th percentile with five stars, down from the 96th percentile the prior year. Its student–teacher ratio was 20.1 in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 21.9. The school reported that 15.9% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, close to the 16.2% average among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students placed it at the 51st percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 89th percentile the year before.
